Good morning all.
I guess it really isn't that good of a morning here, we are all still sick except for hubby is mostly over it. Thankfully the last of the fevers were Saturday night, but evidently this thing comes with a kinda one-two punch and the second half of it is a really bad cold and cough. So in other words, everyone here feels pretty rough today and I just suspect will most of the week.
My birthday was Saturday. We don't usually do much anyway, but I do always bake a cake or brownies. Was to sick to even do that. We don't usually buy hubby or I anything for birthdays, but he really wanted me to get a few things that I had been wanting. He started asking me several weeks ago, so I finally ordered a few things off amazon this weekend. I ordered the Ultimate Homeschool Planner, The new Anne Geddes Wall Calendar, The flylady book (I know, I am behind the times but in need of organization and figure I am more likely to read the book once than the website each day). I also got the newest film made by Moore Family Films. I have wanted that since it came out a year ago, but they are fairly pricey. They have a series called "It's Your Life" where they do documentaries on Large Families. There seems like one other thing, but I can't think of it so it will be a surprise, I guess. My Dad insisted on bringing over a gift for me, but I insisted that he not come in and catch whatever this is. He brought his metal detector with him and helped Steve find his wedding ring that has been missing in the front yard for a week or so. They found it, but we do need to get it sized because that happens frequently when he is working outside with it on. Anyway they gave me a generous gift card to my favorite place, Kohls, and also let me have my wedding portrait that had always hung in their home. They are remodeling and getting rid of all things with gold frames?
Anyway hubby was more than happy to get it and he hung it over our bedside table. What a sweetie!
So..... today is going to bring taking care of sickies again. I absolutely have to do at least 4 loads of laundry. I am running all clothes and dishes on sanitizing cycles right now and that takes like three times as long as regular. Also need to do some sweeping, but we'll see how far I get. I may watch some more you tube videos. We may get to go to a Trader Joes later in the week and I have never been. If I don't familiarize myself with some of the products first, it will be like my first trip to Whole Foods and take hours.
Cheryl, grilled cheese and soup sounds nice and easy. I believe I will go with that as well.
Blessings,
Lindsay
